Avoided Cost
Net Excess Generation Notes

The amount of electricity produced by the member and supplied to the Cooperative during the billing period shall be credited to the member at the Avoided Cost. The Avoided Cost is set by the Cooperative’s power provider and may be subject to change without notice. Any credit that is greater than the energy portion of the member’s bill, shall not be refunded by the Cooperative. Rather, any excess credit shall carry over to subsequent billing periods to offset any member consumption in those billing periods until all credits are used or until the end of the Annual Period on December 31st of each year, whichever occurs first.

Members who have a service that is under an incentive rate (i.e. Residential Electric Heat Rider, Residential All Electric Home, Grain Drying Rate, etc.) shall not be eligible for a Member Generation Rate. A member may choose to be on a Member Generation Rate in lieu of an incentive rate but both rates cannot be used in conjunction with each other.

***No leased systems allowed***

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Clay Electric Coop Inc (IL) before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
